Objective:
Today you are expected to learn :
 The basic concept on simple
discount interest
 how to compute for discount rate,
term, amount of the loan, and
proceeds

DISCOUNT INTEREST
- Discount interest is an amount paid for
borrowing money.
- is charged at the time the loan that has been
negotiated is executed.

Example:
I sign today a loan for one year with a maturity
value of P100, 000 and receives P90, 000
today as its principal or its proceeds. P10,000
is referred to as the discount interest.

DISCOUNT INTEREST (Id)
Discount interest depends on three factors:
1.) F = maturity value of the loan, which
is the amount of the loan applied for on
the origin date
2.) d = the discount interest rate, expressed
in percent and to be computed on F
3.) t = the term of the loan

Id = F d t

4
DISCOUNT INTEREST (Id)
Proceeds – is the amount received by the
borrower on the origin date (principal)
- is the amount received by the
borrower after removing the interest on
the loan.
- is the difference between maturity
value and discount interest.
P = F – Id
= F – Fdt
= F (1 – dt)

Connect it algebraically…
From Id=Fdt, we can derive the following
formulas:
I Fdt Id
For F: I d  Fdt d
 F
dt dt dt

For t: I d  Fdt I d Fdt Id

 t
Fd Fd Fd
For d: I d  Fdt I d Fdt
 Id
Ft Ft d
Ft
P  Proceeds
For P: Since F  I d is the amount received by the borrower
after removing the interest on the loan, then we will
 F  Fdt  F (1  dt)
have P =F - Id 6
DISCOUNT INTEREST (Id)
Example: Basty borrowed P150,000 from Bank
Karote for a term of one year. The interest
charged is 10% simple discount rate. Find the
proceeds of the loan.
Given: F=P150,000
d=10%=0.10
t=1
P=?
Which of the following formulas will we use?
Id Id Id
F t d P  F  Id
dt Fd Ft  F (1  dt)

DISCOUNT INTEREST (Id)
Example: Basty borrowed P150,000 from Bank
Karote for a term of one year. The interest
charged is 10% simple discount rate. Find the
proceeds of the loan.
Given: F=P150,000 d=10%=0.10 t=1
P=?
Formula: P  F (1  dt)
Solution: P  150,000(1  (0.10)(1))
 150,000(0.9)
 P135,000
Therefore, Basty will receive P135,000 as proceeds of his loan.

DISCOUNT INTEREST (Id)
Example: How much should Badong borrow to
have P15,000 today if he promised to pay it in
2 years at 6 3/7 % simple discount rate?
Given: P=P15,000
d=6 3/7%=0.064285714
t=2
F=?
Which of the following formulas will we use?

Id Id P Id

Example: How much should Badong borrow to
have P15,000 today if he promised to pay it in
2 years at 6 3/7 % simple discount rate?
Given: P=P15,000 d=0.064285714 t=2
F=?
Formula: F  P
1  dt
15,000
Solution: F 
(1  (0.064285714 )(2))
 P17,213.11
Therefore,Badong needs to borrow P17,213.11

DISCOUNT INTEREST (Id)
Example: How long should P75,000 be discounted
to have a proceeds of P50,000 at 12.6% simple
discount rate?
Given: F=P75,000
P=P50,000
d=12.6%=0.126
t=?
Which of the following formulas will we use?

Id Id Id
F t d P  F  Id

Example: How long should P75,000 be discounted
to have a proceeds of P50,000 at 12.6% simple
discount rate?
Given: F=P75,000 P=P50,000 d=0.126
t=?
Id F  P
Formula: t  
Fd Fd
(75,000  50,000 ) 25,000
Solution: t  
75,000(0.126) 75,000(0.126)
 2.65
Therefore,it would take 2.65 years to discount P75,000.

Example: Determine the discount rate if P32,000
is the proceeds of a loan of P43,000 due in 16
months.
Given: P=P32,000
F=P43,000
t=16/12
d=?
Which of the following formulas will we use?

Id Id Id

is the proceeds of a loan of P43,000 due in 16
months.
Given: P=P32,000 F=P43,000 t=16/12
d=?

Formula: d  

( 43,000  32 ,000 ) 11 ,000
Solution: d  

 0.1919 x100  19.19%
Therefore, the simple discount rate is about 19.19%.
